                                   _{….He smiles warmly up at you.}

---

   _{The world was new. He just was. He took it all in. Everything so bright and clear. Exciting! Overwhelming. There were sights and smells he had no names for. They, too, just were. The floor was cold, but he didn’t know it. Hard, too. Uncomfortable, but he didn’t know the meaning of the word. It contrasted with the warm fuzziness inside his chest, it was just exciting. Things towered above him, but he wasn’t afraid.}

   _{His eyes shifted to the side, and he saw something new. Yet somehow… familiar. He crawled over, on all fours, to a fallen figure on the ground near him. Glass littered the floor, with some sort of substance forming puddles, but he was unbothered by either. He had eyes only for this figure, who was different from everything else. They were moving- sort of- their chest rising and falling. He watched, enthralled, and, by instinct alone, moved a limb forward to rest over the area.}

   _{He could see that he almost looked like this figure. They were the same, yet somehow different. He knew himself to be smaller, though he had no word for it. There was a warmness similar to his own inside this figure’s chest. He looked at the face, where eyes were closed. Could they see like he can see? He moved his hand over to it.}

   _{Pat pat pat.}

_{No change. He tried again, more insistently.}

   _{Pat pat pat!}

   _{Finally… the lids opened to reveal dark depths where only two forms of light peered out. They seemed dazed at first, before focusing on him. Somehow, being noticed strengthened the fuzziness inside. Of its own accord, his mouth stretched further from a grin that was already there, but that, too, had no meaning for him yet.}
